So let's say we take the motorcycle drive train away and replace it with a ducted fan which is geared to run best at the power peak of the engine and has the same efficiency throughout the speed range of the test. Discounting air resistance and any losses on the vehicle, and holding 100 hp constant from the engine. Will we have constant values for thrust and for acceleration to the IFoR of the rider?
